EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic artwork "Janus" attributed to Hans Steidlin, a renowned German artist from the late 16th century. Created around 1600, this exquisite piece is rendered in pen and ink over graphite with delicate brown and pink washes, enhanced by white heightening on laid paper. The subject of this composition is Janus, the ancient Roman god of beginnings and transitions. Known for his two faces looking in opposite directions, Janus symbolizes duality and represents both past and future simultaneously. The intricate details captured by Steidlin's skilled hand bring out the depth of emotion within Janus' expressions. Notably, the reverse side of this artwork has been blackened and incised for transfer purposes—an intriguing technique employed during that era. This adds an element of mystery to its history as it traveled through time. Quint Lox's expertly printed photograph allows us to appreciate every fine line and subtle shading present in Steidlin's masterpiece. It offers viewers a chance to delve into the rich artistic heritage of Germany during a pivotal period in art history.
